3. Create a home video for Mom.
My siblings and I made a Michael Jackson Music video for Mother’s Day one year and she still has that tape to this day! As you can imagine, it was pretty comical with 5 kids and 2 dogs running around the living room all dancing terribly to “Bad”. She says it is a gift she will never forget! She mentioned it the other day and it is what inspired me to write this blog! So, get out your camcorder and create mom a music video she will never forget!

5. Create A Fresh Bouquet for Mom
We have Dads come in with their kids to pick out flowers for Mom and it is the sweetest thing to see! They come back to our cooler and Dad helps them pick out flowers that they think Mom will like. A salesperson is always nearby to assist! Then Dad lets us know if he would like one of our designers to create a bouquet for Mom and have it delivered or if he would like us to wrap up the flowers to take home. If you decide to take the flowers home, it makes a fun project for the kids and it won’t hurt the wallet either! You can save 20% - 60% by taking the flowers home and vasing them yourself! Make it even more memorable by video taping you and the kids making this special bouquet!
